2013 Honda Accord visibility/wiper problems

“The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH in the rain, the windshield wipers stopped operating as needed. The contact was able to continue driving at slower speeds. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.”

“The driver's side sun visor will not stay in the upright position, sometimes blocking my view of traffic signals or other items, even those below the level of the rear-view mirror. Honda wants $150 for the part. There are may YouTube videos about the problem caused by a failure of a cheap piece of plastic that is prone to breaking. It seems to me that Honda should fix this safety feature as part of a recall.”

“THE VISOR ON THE DRIVER SIDE SUDDENLY POPPED AND NOW IT KEEPS FALLING, IMPAIRING VISIBILITY. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH OTHER HONDA'S AND IF THAT'S THE CASE, YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND PUT A RECALL ON IT BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS IT ANNOYING, BUT IT IS A HAZARD THAT MOST DEFINITELY IMPAIRS DRIVING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS!!!”

“OVER TIME, DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SUN VISORS NO LONGER FOLD UP FLUSH WITH CEILING. THEY INSTEAD SAG; PARTIALLY BLOCKING DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY HINGE SYSTEM THAT, WITH REPEATED USE, BECOMES DETACHED FROM THE VISOR.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ELEVATE THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT MADE A CLICKING NOISE AND FAILED TO ELEVATE. WHENEVER THE SEAT WAS ELEVATED, IT WOULD FALL OUT OF POSITION, WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE CONTACT TO DRIVE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW FAILED TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURES AND OPENED CASE NUMBER: 08428126. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.”

“THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FALLS DOWN BLOCKING THE VIEW AND DISTRACTING THE DRIVER. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM AS THERE ARE A NUMBER OF VIDEOS ON YOU TUBE CLAIMING TO SHOW HOW TO REPAIR IT. HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THESE VISORS WHEN THEY MALFUNCTION. NHTSA IS DERELICT IF IT DOES NOT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM! THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING OR ANY ACTION ON THE PART OF THE DRIVER.”
